(Jan. 8, 2016) The Portland Bureau of Transportation is releasing data today about the bureau’s response to the recent winter storm event that brought snow and ice accumulations to the Portland area Jan. 3 to Jan. 6.

The recent icy conditions are a great reminder that by preparing for winter weather, Portlanders are also making themselves better prepared to withstand earthquakes, floods and other disasters. The Portland Bureau of Emergency Management has tips for the public to help prepare for disasters: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/pbem/index.cfm?&a=559108

From Jan. 3 through 6 a.m. on Jan. 6, PBOT’s storm response included:

Portland Aerial Tram rides: 300 rides on Sunday, and 4,830 from midnight Sunday night through midnight Monday night. The tram is normally closed on Sundays in winter, but it opened and stayed open overnight while SW Sam Jackson Park Road was closed.

PBOT also offers answers to frequently asked questions about the City’s preparations and response to snow and ice events and what the public should do before, during and after a storm. See: http://bit.ly/22GsFuj
